| Summary: | What makes someone a hero? Is it fame, power, money, creative talent, athletic ability, good looks? Despite what our culture typically celebrates, none of those things makes a hero. No, heroism springs from character, the critical element that defines a person. The good news is that character is something every one of us can mold; it is simply the sum of the choices we make as we face new challenges and opportunities. And here's even better news: this lively, accessible book gives you real, flesh-and-blood models of character, courage, and conviction-men and women you won't just admire but also can emulate. Author Lawrence W. Reed ranges far and wide in Real Heroes-from major historical figures to remarkable people you've never heard of; from the distant past to the present; from the United States, to Europe, to Asia; from statesmen to scientists, athletes to inventors, entrepreneurs to theologians, writers to teachers. |
